Synopsis: Sales tax holiday. Provides a sales tax exemption for clothing, clothing accessories, school instructional material, and school supplies that are purchased during the seven day period from July 25 through July 31.

Real tax relief measures of any sort are rare and sales tax relief can help to spur growth in the local economy and increase tourism, as other tax holiday states are fully aware. Why can't this bill be expanded to cover more than just school supplies?
